John Mark Karr

Onetime JonBenet Ramsey murder suspect John Mark Karr rejected a plea deal that would have given him probation in exchange for a guilty plea on child pornography charges, his lawyer said Thursday. The deal would have waived three of the five misdemeanor child pornography possession charges against Karr if he pleaded guilty to the two other ones. His trial was set for Oct. 2.

John Mark Karr, who made what turned out to be bogus claims of killing JonBenet Ramsey, was jailed after a domestic argument at his father's house in suburban Atlanta.

Officers took Karr to a hospital after he complained of chest pains, then took him to jail.

Boulder County officials spent $29,726 on the arrest, extradition and court appearance of John Mark Karr, the former suspect in the death of JonBenet Ramsey. Karr was cleared in the case.

John Mark Karr, 41, a suspect in the death a decade ago of 6-year-old JonBenet Ramsey, was scheduled to depart Bangkok, Thailand, on a Thai Airways flight and arrive in Los Angeles this evening.

The governor has ridiculed her, former colleagues have criticized her, and constituents have demanded that she be run out of town. But Boulder County Dist. Atty.

Those confessions were lurid, but not always accurate or telling.
